The weirdest part for me was there's almost a million people in Russia who are doing various magic shit for a living.
Quite recently I learned (from Dank's "Anime Jesus" madlads video) about how that Japanese death cult was also huge in Russia, which is how they acquired their guns (an absolute rarity in JP), chemical weapons technology and knowledge, and even a military helicopter that they wanted to use to storm the Imperial Palace. https://youtube.com/watch?v=0dpv65FQOQw
It works for both sides, depending on whether the bearded man is Jesus or Marx.
I see little difference between this, and the "hands across America" that was supposed to magically bind people together, or all the mass prayers against crime that were popular a couple generations ago (they tried it in Detroit ....)
In this case, they might just be covering their ass in case Putin decides that witches are too "western" to trust or something - it's a public show of support.
As an aside, I seem to recall Abbie Hoffmann or someone like that hiring a witch to curse the Pentagon back in the Vietnam War days ...
